Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the limited harm to character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.
The limited adverse impacts on character and appearance (given moderate weight to the conflict with development plan policies but minimal weight overall given the limited quantum of development and the Framework's support for appropriate innovation and change) were outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing delivery in an accessible location, particularly given the Council's housing land supply shortfall and the Framework's presumption in favour of sustainable development.
